Bill, I can share anything you would like to know. E-mail me back at discodon77@hotmail.com and if you're comfortable with giving me your phone number I can talk to you in person. Otherwise I will e-mail you directly back with more information.

Bill, I posted a reply to your question but also wanted to reply here. I have read some information about DiStefano and others in Massachusetts. I almost originally was going to go up to Canada but decided against it. I would be real interested in what you have found out and what the prices are. If you feel more comfortable, email me at discodon77@hotmail.com.

Bill, I didn't have any other Doctors names at the time and hadn't found any that looked good so, no I only dealt with MHR in Wellesley. Since then I found DiStefano's name from Worcester and he looks like a good possibility. If you don't mind, what are his charges? I liked what I saw after the fact and would potentially talk to him myself if I decide to have a second HT.

As I think I mentioned I had 2000 grafts. Originally they were going to charge $6.00 a graft but I discussed it with the consultant and they chaged just over $5.00 a graft. I was actually scheduled for 1900 grafts and they decided on 100 more as the surgery progressed. Maybe there was some left over that they didn't want to waste but at any rate I had discussed this possibility with them before the procedure and as agreed they did NOT charge me any more. That was comforting. I just had my sutures removed today (Day 14) and they said I looked real good. Very healed and jsut impressed with everything so far.

John, I just posted another reply to someone else with the info as to the place that I went to. Have you had an HT procedure done before? If so who did it and what was the outcome and experience?

I had my HT done by Dr. Matt Leavitt at MHR in Wellesley. I went back to work 2 days after the procedure and I was careful for those 5 work days about being seen alot. By this week it is not even noticeable by anyone that anything was done to my hair. So thankfully I did not take any time off of work. If I did it all over again I might take 5 days off just to prevent the nervousness that anyone would be able to tell. I'm thrilled that no one did notice this time so I guess it was OK.

I have been quietly watching this board for a few weeks and found it very helpful. I held off awhile from having an HT procedure and finally went ahead and got one. I am from Massachusetts for anyone out there who would like to know. I am in my 12'th day since the procedure and would like to share my experience. I had a follicular unit procedure done, am a class 3 and hated the thought of losing my hair. My crown was balding and front hairline receding. I had tried Rogaine with some success, but mostly peach fuzz effects. I had 2000 grafts done for coverage and density and my wife is amazed at how clean and good everything looks already. I am on the tail end of using Graftcyte products which seem to have helped the healing and am now using Folligen once a day. I hope I'm not overdoing it. I appreciate all of the information posted here and would like to encourage some replies to this post to give me opinions or ask me questions. I would be happy to provide more detail if asked. Hopefully in a few months I'll be as happy as I am now and I may be one of the lucky ones and keep a percentage of my transplant hair without it falling out. Right now most of the hair is growing (believe it or not!) Please feel free to post replies, I llok forward to any questions or comments.
